Pros

I was able to learn a lot about FDA regulations documentation and method development.

Cons

PPD does not care about their employees they will work you to death and never promote you but instead give you a bad review even if you're number one as far as number of plates ran per year.

Pros

**Nothing**

Cons

Very low pay, Insecure job, Use and Throw policy, They don't know what they are doing, lack of communication between departments, never care about contract employees, they want someone who can work there for low pay. Overall, working for this company is waste of time. I wish I could give negative rating to this company.
